"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.

About Me

I have been an elementary and secondary school teacher and administrator. Currently, I am a faculty member in the Faculty of Education at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. My M.Ed. and Ph.D. had a focus on the educational and linguistic experiences of children who moved from other countries to Canada.

Digital Mentoring Project Updates

We have been fortunate to bring a lot of BlackBerry phones with us to Haiti. These are being used to connect educators with each other, both in Haiti and in Canada. I distributed 6 of the phones in Pignon to various principals. Today, I identified a number of other participants, including the Director of the Ministry of Education and a number of principals in private and public schools.

I am so thankful to BlackBerry for their donation and to the people of Waterloo Region who also believed in this project and donated used BlackBerries - at the end of the week, I will post some pictures of principals who receive these BBs.
